    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players reporting significant performance improvements over time, achieving stable frame rates on mid-range hardware. However, others continue to experience issues, particularly in fullscreen mode, where performance drops drastically even on high-end systems. Overall, while some users find the game now runs smoothly, others still highlight ongoing optimization challenges that affect gameplay experience.

    • “Now it runs smoothly for me, stable 60fps.”
    • “You will be greeted to a menu that allows you to adjust the settings and change the language to ensure better gameplay performance.”
    • “Several performance issues and unpolished design here and there.”
    • “As for gameplay it is terrible; the character (Reimu) is hard to control, the camera is slow, and the performance is abysmal, dropping all over the place and never keeping a stable 60fps even though my PC meets the requirements.”
    • “As it stands, I cannot run the game in full screen because the performance will drop sharply to an unplayable level on a decent machine (i7-6800k, gtx1080, 32gb ram).”

    The gameplay of "Touhou Mechanical Scrollery" is described as interesting and fun, featuring a mix of mecha shooting and monster hunter-style mechanics, with distinct character playstyles for Reimu and Marisa. However, players have noted significant technical issues, including poor controls, slow camera response, and performance drops that detract from the overall experience. While some mechanics are well-introduced, others can be confusing, leading to a gameplay experience that doesn't fully meet expectations set by the trailers.

    • “Touhou Mechanical Scrollery has been a very fun game for me lately, and the 3D aspect of bullet hell is very awesome indeed.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, Marisa and Reimu are fairly different from each other, with Reimu being more physical/close-combat oriented and Marisa focusing more on magic and spell cards.”
    • “I dig the weapon building mechanic akin to God Eater/Monster Hunter, but it could have benefitted if there were spell card duels.”
    • “The gameplay is not that satisfying as it shows in the trailer.”
    • “As for gameplay, it is terrible. The character (Reimu) is hard to control, the camera is slow, and the performance is abysmal, dropping all over the place and never keeping a stable 60fps even though my PC meets the requirements.”
    • “The game does a decent job at introducing some mechanics, but others are only briefly introduced or done in a slightly confusing way.”

  • story

    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The story in the game is generally considered mediocre, with some unlockable stages offering minimal narrative content. Players noted that mission objectives can disrupt gameplay, as completing them often ends the stage prematurely, regardless of player choices. While the characters are portrayed as expected and the story is still developing, it may not satisfy those seeking a strong narrative experience.

    • “Good story, good gameplay, minor bug (but it's not a problem to play), great song.”
    • “The story is still early on so I can't speak too much about it, but the characters so far behave pretty much how you'd expect them to behave, which is nice.”
    • “Granted this is the first Touhou game I have ever played, so maybe the story is good for the series, even if this is a fan game.”
    • “I will say it's mediocre, so maybe don't play the game if you're story-driven.”
    • “Once you clear the mission objective, the stage would end shortly after, regardless of your choice.”
    • “- small amount of content for the main story.”

  • graphics

    43% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

While some find the graphics acceptable, others express frustration with the lack of optimization and clarity in settings, leading to inconsistent performance across different systems.

    • “Amazing gameplay and stunning graphics.”
    • “The graphics are very good and very nice.”
    • “- stunning 3D graphics, first among Touhou fan games.”
    • “I would recommend anyone who is thinking about buying this game to stay away from it as it has so many issues before even playing the game like controller not working, graphics settings being a bit lackluster and not explaining what they change.”
    • “And yet this game chugs along at 15 fps even with all the graphics set to minimum and vsync shut off.”
    • “Its a great idea, good graphics, very poor execution.”

  • music

    • “Your spell cards clear the screen of bullets and do some funny stuff, sometimes dealing lots of damage - I haven't figured out all their mechanics yet.”
